D)are only transmitted by sexual contact.
E)none of the above.

Accepted Answer

Lice are actually small, wingless insects that live on the skin and hair of humans and other animals. They are usually spread through direct contact with an infested person or their clothing, brushes, or bedding. They are not protozoa, transmitted by fleas, or the egg form of bed bugs, and while they can be spread through close personal contact, they can also be spread through shared clothing or items.
